Bartending Notes


Mai Tai
(The Original Formula - created by Victor J. Bergeron in 1944)

2 oz. of 17-year old J. Wray & Nephew Rum
1 Lime, Juiced
1/2 oz. Holland DeKuyper Orange Curaçao
1/4 oz. Trader Vic's Rock Candy Syrup
1/2 oz. French Garier Orgeat Syrup

Combine ingredients and shake vigorously. Strain into a rocks glass over shaved ice. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and 1/2 the lime rind. - I wanted to use the original recipe, but ingredient brands can be (and will probably have to be) substituted. I would recommend Appleton Estate Jamaican Dark Rum, as it looks to be the descendant of the J.Wray, as it is made by J. Wray and Nephew of Kingston, Jamaica.
